Don’t look now, but this post is coming at you from Big Acres Gourmet Products!
I first learned of Big Acres Gourment when I overheard a conversation on Twitter (is that overtweard?) @melanieyunk talking about her amazing mole sauce that she demoed on the radio.
I. Love. Mole.
So of course I asked for a bottle. I should have asked for case because I am so craving some more
Beef Mole
I promise not to say holy mole! I promise! But boy howdy was this stuff good. For those who don’t know what mole is, it’s a Mexican sauce and the most widely known savory (non-dessert) usage of chocolate. Mole is a combination of peppers and spices and bitter chocolate that forms this indescribable sauce. When it’s done right, it’s mindblowing.
When it’s not done right… well, they’re called doggy bags for a reason.
The thing I liked about Big Acres is that their mole was sweet (from the raisins that they add), but also pleasantly spicy. It also had good body (I am assuming that came from the nuts they add.)
Now, the traditional mole dish is chicken mole, where cooked chicken is combined with mole and usually served with beans, rice, and tortillas. So of course, when I got my bottle, I couldn’t do chicken mole. Where’s the challenge?
Ready to see what I did?
